The present invention relates to a catalyst product for cracking of heavy hydrocarbon feed stocks predominantly in to light olefins and processes for preparing the catalyst. More specifically the present invention relates to a process of preparing Fluidic Catalytic Cracking (FCC) catalyst additive composition. The FCC catalyst additive composition of the present invention is a LPG selective catalyst particles comprising a medium pore zeolite bonded with clay-phosphate-silica-alumina binder. The catalyst of the present invention exhibits improved selectivity towards high value components like propylene and gasoline and suppressing low value components like dry gas and bottoms.

A hydrocarbon conversion catalyst composition which comprises dealuminated ZSM-48 and/or EU-2 zeolite and a refractory oxide binder essentially free of alumina, processes for preparing such composition and processes for converting hydrocarbon feedstock with the help of such compositions.

A method for preparing liquid fuel by direct conversion of syngas uses the syngas as reaction raw material and conducts a catalytic conversion reaction on a fixed bed or a moving bed. The catalyst is a composite catalyst formed by compounding component I and component II in a mechanical mixing mode. The active ingredient of the component I is a metal oxide, and the component II is at least one of zeolites with one-dimensional ten-membered ring porous channels; and a weight ratio of the active ingredient in the component I to that in the component II is 0.1-20. The reaction process has high product yield and selectivity. The selectivity for liquid fuel composed of C.sub.5-C.sub.11 can reach 50-80%. The selectivity for aromatic hydrocarbon is less than 40% in C.sub.5-C.sub.11, while the selectivity for methane side product is less than 15%.

Methods, catalysts, and corresponding catalyst precursors are provided for performing dewaxing of diesel or distillate boiling range fractions. The dewaxing methods, catalysts, and/or catalyst precursors can allow for production of diesel boiling range fuels with improved cold flow properties at desirable yields. The catalysts and/or catalyst precursors can correspond to supported metal catalysts and/or catalyst precursors that include at least one noble metal, such as Pt, at least one Group 8-10 base metal, preferably a non-noble Group 8-10 base metal, such as Ni and/or Co along with a Group 6 metal, such as Mo and/or W as supported metals along. The support can include a zeolitic framework structure. The catalyst precursors can be formed, for example, by impregnating a support including a zeolitic framework structure with impregnation solution(s) that also includes a dispersion agent.

The present disclosure relates to an additive and a catalyst composition for a catalytic cracking process of vacuum gas oil for preparing cracked run naphtha having reduced liquid olefin content, and increased propylene and butylene yields in the LPG fraction. The process makes use of a catalyst composition which is a mixture of an FCC equilibrated catalyst and an additive comprising a zeolite, phosphorus and a combination of metal promoters. The process is successful in achieving high propylene and butylene yields in the LPG fraction along with a lower liquid olefin content and increased aromatic content with increase in RON unit in the resultant cracked run naphtha, as compared to that achieved using an FCC equilibrated catalyst alone.

The invention relates to the production of aromatic hydrocarbon by the conversion of a feed comprising C.sub.2+ non-aromatic hydrocarbon, e.g., natural gas. The invention is particularly useful in converting natural gas to liquid-phase aromatic hydrocarbon, which can be more easily transported away from remote natural gas production facilities. The conversion is carried out in the presence of a dehydrocyclization catalyst comprising dehydrogenation and molecular sieve components. The dehydrocyclization catalyst has an average residence time of 90 seconds or less.
